Chance

Wikis are increasing in popularity, and recently the well-established Chance mathematical site went just plain "wiki". The original Chance newsletter was started in 1992, and was intended to "review current issues in the news that use probability or statistical concepts." As one might surmise, the newsletter was geared primarily towards educators, but since then it has gained a broad following. Visitors to the site will enjoy reading the newsletter, as it contains articles that take a critical look at statistics in the popular media, and also provides a number of helpful learning exercises and graphics to utilize with students in the classroom. Since the site is set up as a wiki, visitors can also register to modify various pages and add to the discussion as they see fit.
